    Knowledge for the new The M1 Carbine Collector

    I hope there are still some new collectors out
    there and please don't let these prices scare you away this will be the Best money you ever spent on a awesome Hobby. I just would like to say Don't let EBAY sellers fool you. I have seen sellers with Perfect Ratings and All. Positive Reviews. Don't be scared to sign up people here will save you LOTS of money..For Instance when you see a M1icon Carbine Stock and just because its being sold by someone with All perfect markings. These guys that do that get there hands on stuff they shouldn't have like this.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    All demand and supply Frank. If some wants it bad enough these guys will make it. That's the main reason I sold my LL M1icon rifle some years back, while it was acknowledged to be correct and before our government legislated against it. It's now owned by a young lawyer. These stamps have been around and some guys have had lots of practice using them...
    Regards, Jim

    Jim, I have to agree with you. It just makes me so sick seeing how many ppl everyday getting burned on Ebay. I could just sense from being away for a good while I've noticed some changes here and several other forums.(I'm still trying to figure it out) I'm getting the bug to build another 5.56 Civie Shorty and go nuts and be happy with what I already have or just keep waiting for that spark.

    It seems like today you see 20 fakes for every real stock unless it is something really common, and even then there are still some shmuk making fakes.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Jim, I didn't think you remembered when I melted that barrel. I should because all those videos I showed you and then all that ammo I bought, you knew exactly what I was going to do. I had that barrel glowing for awhile. I'm not looking forward to it. I hate killing those damn hogs there nasty and filthy.

    Well, the only other way to get rid of them is to convince them to move to Arkansas...or Mexico. Good luck on that one. I remember the pics of their destruction. We're seeing them way up here in the prairies now of all things.

    Whoa now Jim. I'm spending half my time between NY and Arkansas working on getting my sisters estate down there sold. To put it in a nutshell I'm having enough damn problems without adding hogs to the mix. Why don't you wish them on Navada or some other den of sin. Truth is if they made it south of the Missouri border they wouldn't last long enough to make it past the northern border counties. Not when those barbecuers down there hear about free pork on the hoof running around !!!

    Every Texas Hunting magazine I read they all say this has been the worse year by far since the migration of these Ferrell hog's. BBB between both Doe season I let my neighbor bring his to graze. The one thing that really ****es me is grown thinking that they own the place since its avery nice place to hunt. Well I had to run off knuckleheads for not picking up up there empty shells. These cows can get really sick and talking to some men is like talking to kids. I just we wish a lot of yall lived here there's really great hunting out three yall could hunt year around for free

    Thing that perplexes me is how they made it all the way up here to our prairies. I haven't seen them with my eyes but the people telling me should be able to distinguish what breed they are and they say feral...like yours down south.
